Crawled around it a bunch last night and cleaned all the compartments.
It's equiped with a heater and a shower. Can't say I've ever had a boat with either. And a powered rear nav light. |

Correct on the tower, it’s off an 04. I thought I had seen these graphics before but I could be wrong.... They won’t be around for long as they are pretty sun baked. |

Interesting. Tower is a 2004 if it came off a SAN, or was modified off of a 211. Those graphics must be custom made. Not a graphic I've ever seen in one of the brochures, or on any other boat. Looks to be in good shape. BKH

I've actually had good luck finding blocks so far they just aren't cheap at all. I was prepared for that and the price was right so is what it is. Boat itself is in pretty good shape for the year.
I've got a buddy from college that's into the whole Lake Havasu Giant Boat Small Package Scene. He is supposed to put me in touch with his motor builder here in Texas. His specialty is Big Block GM motors so I'm going to pick his brain. |

Very cool! Good luck finding a block.
I have heard that same number of 11 Python Super Airs in 99. I am not sure if that 11 includes Super Sports as well or if there is a separate count for them. I have a 99 Python Super Sport and love it. |

Born a 502. If my research is correct, it's one of 11 Super Airs for the Year and one of a few here in Texas... (I know there is a Black/White 99 for sale south of me with a Python.) |

Was it born with a Python 502 or just considering all options for the new block? Looking forward to seeing your new project. |

Went back and forth on a project but I really enjoyed working on my pro air with my son. He's out of diapers this time so he should be even more helpful. :)
I've got a few pictures but need to find a new hosting site. My pro air progress was always on photobucket. Trey |

Good find if you don't mind the work and want/ need a project. I'm sure we'll all be watching the progress and for sure will require the visual aid as you post them.

Been a while but I'm back with a new project boat....
Sold our pro air about a year ago to fund an investment and wanted another Nautique since. We though about newer, non-projects, different brands (nothing like a CC), etc.. Ended up stumbling onto a 99 Super Air this week that was in good/great shape other than a window into the side of the block with a rod almost hanging out of it. I'm a sucker for a good deal on a project so it begins today. Family stuff is going to take up 99.9% of our time this summer so I'm probably not going to do much other than research for a while. That and it's supposed to be tripple digit heat for the foreseeable future in our neck of the woods. I don't much like crawling around in a bilge when it's that hot. I'll get pictures and other stuff going. Anybody know a good source for a 502 Long Block? |
